This is version 0.1.2 of a bookmarklet (my very first javascript code "from scratch" :) ) which will take the coordinates from the '''center''' of your screen and find the appropriate CRS Grid map. With this version, I'm primarily looking for feedback as to whether it's working properly, and whether the intermediate step (first alert popup) is really necessary. There may be the tiniest bit of inaccuracy at the edge of a grid, but in general things should put you in the correct place. Ultimately, I expect to put this in the CA Wiki as a resource.

Also, I ''can'' currently link directly to the particular pdf map, but haven't figured how to account for areas where there is no "minor grid" map. In addition, the decision to leave the table as a clunky-looking full-size tab was deliberate, owing to the idea that you may need to access an adjacent map; this seems to me easier than the state's approach, where the tiny window disappears behind the main browser window, but I'm interested in others' thoughts. Feedback will be appreciated.

Be sure to examine the popup closely, as it contains ihe info on which grid, and an '''approximation''' of the location within that grid. The table is presented for those situations when you may need to access an adjacent map.
